Zero Shot explanation about relationprompt HOT 2 CLOSED

Thanks for the swift response!
Yes that's how I understood the generation as well. So yes, it is fair to assume that the named entities in these synthetic examples are unseen.

As stated in your paper:

In order to make ZeroRTE solvable in a supervised manner, we propose RelationPrompt to generate synthetic relation examples by prompting language models to generate structured texts.

So your suggestion is to solve ZeroRTE by generating data for these unseen labels. And since you train your Relation Extractor on these synthetic examples, it becomes a supervised setting.

I always understood Zero Shot as a setting where the model was not trained on any of the classes. But your solution is a fair approach 👍

Hi, thank you for your kind comments :)
We generate the synthetic samples based only on the label names of the unseen relations (eg "Military Rank", "Position Played" etc).
As we do not use any annotated triplets or sentences from the unseen relation data for training, this should still fulfill the zero-shot setting.
